Left Wing
Jesse Nurmi
Creative offensive forward who plays with a surprising amount of energy. Will need to add some weight, but could become a third-line checking winger at his best.
Cole Eiserman
Eiserman is an elite goalscorer; his release is as potent as his ability to find soft ice off-puck, but his on-puck game and defensive engagement remain raw.
Rutger McGroarty
A highly skilled, competitive, versatile forward who can play on the wing and center. Lacks high-end speed and needs to improve his overall skating. He has the size, strength, and leadership qualities to go along with the scoring ability and hockey IQ to develop into a reliable two-way top-six multi-category fantasy option that will contribute to both the powerplay and penalty kill.
McKade Webster
Two-way winger with above average skating ability, lacks offensive finish at this time and projects as a depth forward.
Gabe Perreault
Playmaking winger who plays with energy and forechecks effectively. Will have to continue to develop physically while rounding out the rest of his game but possesses top-six NHL potential.
Adam Edstrom
A big forward who puts a priority on physical play, but also has the ability to make some offensive contributions.
Will Cuylle
A dangerous goal-scorer that can score in a variety of ways. He has a knack to get open and has an excellent shot, Cuylle will provide high-end production.
Tyler Boucher
Boucher plays a physical game and willingly goes to the dirty areas. He has a good shot that he can get off from in tight. Boucher has the potential to evolve into a power forward at the NHL level.
Zack Ostapchuk
Physical forward with a powerful stride and slick stickhandling ability. Could be a solid top-6 contributor in the correct scenario.
Angus Crookshank
High offensive instincts cannot be denied, as he always seems to be in the right spot at the right time. Solid shot and hands in tight. Not a super well rounded game, but if he gets put in a favourable situation in Ottawa with strong linemates, he could present moderate value in PPR leagues focusing on point production.
